For three consecutive days, while driving on the highway (speed between 50-60 miles per hour, with a speed limit of 60 miles per hour), the car experienced unstable posture, skidding, and sudden severe shaking, as if it were traveling on water, especially frequent on bends! When driving at a lower speed (between 45-60 miles per hour, with a highway speed limit of 65 miles per hour), it feels like driving on a slippery road. The first time this happened, the road surface was normal and not slippery; the second day, the first occurrence was during rain, and I thought it was due to wet road conditions, but the second and especially the third time, the road surface was dry, and there were no wet or slippery road conditions. Today is the third day and the same issue occurred again. Personally, I suspect it may be the result of improper intervention by lane assist functions.This is the first time I've encountered this situation in all my years of driving."

PANORAMIC SUNROOF. When opening it jams and starts making a loud popping noise. Others have reported it exploding sending shards of glass everywhere and Toyota refuses to issue a recall/ or fix the problem. They only told me they had no idea others were having this issue. I was 100 miles out of my warranty and they refuse to fix it for less than 10,000.00. This is a safety issue.

Glass of sunroof exploded while driving at 60 mph, without external impact. Likely related to heat (about 95F at time of incident). If I did not have the inner plastic roof closed glass pieces would have fallen into the passenger area. The loud bang of the glass breaking was very startling and could have easily caused an unsaf…

A couple Monday’s ago, I was backing my 2021 Camry LE out of the driveway when I felt the car lurch and continue in reverse until I crashed into a car down the street.

A couple Monday’s ago, I was backing my 2021 Camry LE out of the driveway when I felt the car lurch and continue in reverse until I crashed into a car down the street. I have literally backed out of that driveway thousands of time since 2006, hundreds of times with the Camry LE, and several times since the accident. I have never had this experience. While I cannot dismiss that I might have hit the accelerator, the backing out of the driveway usually requires that I ride the brake into the street, especially since I am right off the corner where cars tend to cut around quickly. (Initial estimate attached)

My son hit a tree at an estimated speed of 45 (As estimated by the accident report) and the car went in flame burning completely my son and the entire inside of the car. I am amazed at a new car that does not have enough front crash support and most important the fuel pump should have shut off due to hitting the front to prevent the car from being burned. Yes, my son died in the accident but we did not have the chance to see him because of the fire, we have only bones to bury.
